Night Train (Restored/Rm)»rank: 1246par: Oscar Peterson
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:This 1962 recording represents 0scar Peterson at his most commercially accommodating, yet his trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen never fails to swing. The program includes such familiar melodies as the title track (which began life as Duke Ellington's 'Happy Go Lucky Local'), 'Georgia on My Mind,' and 'The Honeydripper.' With the notable exception of the gospel-like original 'Hymn to Freedom,' most of the tracks clock in at around three minutes. This reissue contains several alternate takes that were wisely ... |

An Oscar Peterson Christmas»rank: 1507par: Oscar Peterson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0scar Peterson and his six-piece combo are all business on Peterson's 1995 Christmas recording, extolling the virtues of Peterson's intelligent and seductive keyboard work as well as those of his knowing sidemen. The result is a triumphant set of 14 standards showcasing the group's intricate interplay and tasty individual solos. The ensemble's instrument mix--a discreet blend of vibes, flügelhorn, guitar, bass, drums, and piano--adds splashes of color and shading on classics such as 'Let lt Snow' when you least expect it. Plus, ... |

Song Is You Best Of The Verve»rank: 391par: Oscar Peterson
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:When Peterson burst upon the scene in the early 1950s he hit jazz with a shock wave from which it never recovered.

Subtitled 'The Best 0f The Verve Songbooks', the trios deal here in standards and there is every kind of swing one could imagine and there isn't ... |

Trio + One Clark Terry»rank: 10606par: Oscar Peterson, Clark Terry
Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:Nul doute qu'0scar Peterson et Clark Terry ont en commun l'amour du blues. Le pianiste admire le trompettiste pour son approche de la ligne mélodique, pour sa manière qu'il a d'improviser sans jamais perdre le fil conducteur d'un thème, de toujours le chérir. Leur rencontre apparaît donc parfaitement naturelle, bien qu'0scar préfère d'ordinaire la formule du trio. Avec Clark, les choses en vont autrement. Personne ne cherche ici à briller, à prouver sa technique. Point de morceaux de bravoure, les deux hommes ... |

Filed under: Car Buying, Etc., Green
Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.
Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
